Kownacki has bagged 11 goals for Poznan this campaign and can strengthen his credentials even further this summer.

He is set to lead the line for Poland’s Under-21s at this summer’s European Championship and will be looking to impress for the hosts against Group A opponents England.

The comparisons to Bayern Munich star and fellow countryman Lewandowski are based on both the style of play and similarities between their early career path at Poznan.

Kownacki struggled with the expectation placed upon his shoulders as he set out in his senior career.
However, this season has seen him explode into life and he is currently enjoying his highest-return in front of goal.

Lewandowski created his reputation at Poznan before he earned a big money move to Borussia Dortmund in 2010.
